Large Asian Hornet Nests Found hanging from ceiling of UK home promoting fresh warnings

Invasive Species and Arrival in the British Isles. The Asian hornet, scientifically known as Vespa velutina nigrithorax, is native to Southeast Asia. In recent years, it has become increasingly problematic in several parts of the world. The species is considered invasive due to its ability to displace local hornet populations and wreak havoc on ecosystems. They are known to prey on bees, posing a significant threat to honeybee populations and the pollination services they provide. In addition, Asian hornets can be aggressive towards humans, making their presence a cause for concern.
